Jungle Bunny

Once there was a little man\nAnd they called him Shoe Shine Stan\nEveryday the man would sweep\nClutter from the busy street\nSeldom did he say a word\nAt least that anybody heard\nWell, there was something in his face\nThat could never be erased\nCould it be true? I understand\nThe meaning of that shoe shine man\nCould it be true? I understand\nThe meaning of that shoe shine man\nAnd like a little paper pup\nHe looked up from the broken cup\nHe drank his morning coffee in\nAnd wiped the dribbles from his chin\nThen I felt his eyes meet mine\nAnd he made a little whine\nHe came within an inch or two\nAnd then he whispered, «I hate you»\nCould it be true? I understand\nThe meaning of that shoe shine man\nOnce I had some pets\nAnd I let them starve to death\nIt was a silly little monkey\nAnd a big white easter bunny\nThey lived in little cages\nAnd sometimes in rages\nI would turn them upside down\nAnd drag the bunny all around
